Google calendar dialog doesn't have username field

I can confirm this bug, I've got exactly the same window as Viktor attached.

Google Calendar plugin doesn't work at all then, so I find it very CRUTIAL.

thanks for the report, that works fine here, i get all the options for the google calendar but the password since it's asked after you add the calendar information in a popup dialog. do you get any errors on the command line? could you run evolution as: CAMEL_DEBUG=all evolution >& evo.log perform the operation to reproduce the bug and attach that resulting file to the report? could you also try with a new user created on your system? thanks in advance.

btw i'm attaching what i'm seeing with latest package (2.25.92) on jaunty.

I can confirm this bug running jaunty.
anders@ymer:~$ apt-cache policy evolution
evolution:
  Installed: 2.25.92-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 2.25.92-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 2.25.92-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I also did run CAMEL_DEBUG=all evolution --component=calendar >& evo.log and the log says nothing at all concerning when i tried to add my google calendar.
It worked perfect in intrepid.

I can confirm this bug also.
dbasinge@mikebuntu:~$ apt-cache policy evolution

setting as confirmed per user comments, will have a look to upstream as well, thanks all.

I've sent this upstream at: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=574248 ; thanks for reporting.

I've checked today's update and problem is still there :( Can I help with some info?

I've checked today with 2.26.0 and the problem is even worse.
Now i do not even get the username field.

the jaunty version has an username entry as expected there

I'm in the same situation: no username field, nor password

Is it possible that we miss a package?

Hi noticed this yesterday and did a full update,

I use this version:
evolution:
  Installiert: 2.26.0-0ubuntu2
  Kandidat: 2.26.0-0ubuntu2
  Versions-Tabelle:
 *** 2.26.0-0ubuntu2 0

When I create a new google calendar, the only things that I can set is the calendar name, color and checkboxes for offline sync/ default calendar, no username, no password. Compared to a 8.10 install, there everything looks fine.

I confirm this bug it's not possible to enter username/password. try on
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu jaunty (development branch)
Release: 9.04

the jaunty issue should be sent to bugzilla.gnome.org by somebody having the bug that works fine there

I had the bug in bugzilla.gnome.org http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=576059

I don't know why the problem exists, but I figured out what code is failing (I think)

in plugin_google()

there's this code

        if (!g_str_has_prefix (e_source_group_peek_base_uri (group),
                               "google")) {
                return NULL;
        }

when it passes that condition, it doesn't display the dialog. for some reason, I've now recompiled it by hand a few times and now its not failing that conditional anymore, when one switches to the google calendar option.

i really have no idea why it was failing b4, as all I've really done is stick in a bunch of printf's to nail it down, and now it operates correctly.

confused.

"and now its nto failing that conditional anymore" should be "passing"

I've got the same problem with evolution 2.26.0-0ubuntu2

Any news about this bug?

Unfortunately Evolution is unusable with this bug. Are there any solutions to solve this problem?

I suffer from this problem too, it's kind of serious. Importance should be higher then low.

Same here, could some-one explain why this bug is triaged as being of low importance. It's one of the reasons I keep booting into windows at the moment on my laptop instead of using Ubuntu. It's the integration of Ubuntu in the desktop/calendar that make it not a small, but a very big bug.

+1

there is no need to add "+1" useless comments there, that doesn't bring any value to the bug, the issue is a GNOME one discuss it on the GNOME bug if you are constructive comments to add, the setting is low because the google calendar option in evolution is only a calendar feature and never really worked correctly, the setting could be change but that will not make it work automatically without work there

Is there any temporary workaround for this bug? Maybe to add username and password in some configuration file?
I really need this feature :)

Probably the google calendae feature only wraps the caldav setting, see here:
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=99358#sunbird

did not have time to try it, but on another installation of thunderbird/lightning the above works fine.

First of all in my opinion it's not an useless comment. It is quite obvious that for Matthijs, Askar and for me this is a important bug. And therefor I think the importance should be higher then low. This calendar feature worked very well in Intrepid and in Fedora 10.

And if the importance of a ubuntu bug doesn't have any influence what is this option for?

Thank you Christoph, this workaround works perfectly... I'll use this solution until the problem will be resolved (hopefully in the Jauty stable version)

For this you can use "This bug affects me too" option

the importance is there to prioritize work, the issue there is not a jaunty stopper though and there is no specific evolution hacker in the ubuntu team so that should better be discussed on the upstream bug

I've updated the GNOME bugzilla about this. There are two problems - the username/password dialog missing, and then another bug that you hit upon fixing that. The GNOME bugzilla has patches for both that I just submitted.

Please be warned - I've not worked on evolution before. The patches could be complete garbage, but they work for me.

@Sebastien: I partly agree with you, I've never experienced serious bugs with Evolution and it quickly became my favorite PIM.

And this is where I party agree with you, Evolution has become my desktop-app of choice, I use it extensively. In the version of Evo used in Intrepid, everything worked flawlessly with google (gmail, calendar) and for me and a lot of private persons out there using Ubuntu and Evolution, it has been the best GTD solution out there.

Now there is a strange problem with Gmail/IMAP (a strange unknown folder appears), the Google Calendar isn't supported anymore and when you add your private url to a web-calendar the password isn't remembered. So Evolution has gone from my favourite app to something I'm thinking of not using. Gnome integration is great, but if the calendar doesn't work, well then the integration isn't that useful. So no, it's not a really big deal, lots of people don't use google. But I think there's a really large chunk of Ubuntu nerds (and I use the term proudly) that like GSOC and the integration it has brought us.

let's wait for upstream comments, I don't get the issue neither on any of my jaunty installation

could the users having the issue comment to describe the order in which the calendars are listed in the new calendar combo?

The Google calendar choice is first on the list

the issue is not there on upgrades, upstream will fix the bug in svn soon and that will be in jaunty

This bug was fixed in the package evolution - 2.26.0-0ubuntu4

---------------
evolution (2.26.0-0ubuntu4) jaunty; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/91_svn_change_fix_google_username.patch:
    - svn change to correcly display the google username entry
      (lp: #334824)

I can confirm that it works now. Not sure whether I need to change the status of the bug

I can now enter my username! but the calendar won't load. it's
empty... does it load for you?

Everything works fine now. Thank you :)

I see the same thing as Nicolò C. Will file new bug report.
